Cab someone tell me why blowdrying is bad? I blowdry my hair everyday with a gentle blowdrier, not too hot, and I don't see a problem. There are a few split ends; not too many. I think shampooing everyday is much worse because it removes the oils your hair needs. I shampoo my hair on Monday and Friday, but condition everyday. The natural oils really helps in dealing with tangles.
My hair is 16 inches long.

It damages the hair.
No Sheesh! But how does it damage hair?
I think that it dries out the natural oils!

Too much heat . . . cooks the hair. Can happen to the middle of the hair shaft as well as the ends, in which case you can get brittle, knotted hair. About the only treatment (according to my school textbook) ". . . involves oiling the hair well to soften and lubricate it, since split ends are a result of excessive dryness. The split hair (trichoptilosos) may also be removed by drying."
